Ooozing the sort of boutique gorgeousness normally found in the cobbled back streets of Clerkenwell or Shoreditch, Estuary Wine Bar is a contemporary drinking hole set in the heart of picturesque Manningtree. 

Just a stroll from the waterfront and views out over the River Stour, this smokey Soho-style wine bar on Manningtree high street delivers a firm focus on fine wines, artisan gins and authentic plates of excellent tapas. But let’s be clear, this is very much an intimate bar setting – not a family restaurant, which makes it ideal date-night territory.

Small but fashionably formed, drinkers can expect candle-lit tables in quiet, gallery-wall enclaves, industrial-style fixtures and fittings, and lashings of midnight velvet. Romantic, much? Wait – it gets better: keep your eyes peeled for live jazz evenings, wine tasting talks and foodie events post-COVID. We had you at boutique, didn’t we? See you at the bar…
